Does anyone know what I need to do to get these:

Sounds files to work? I've tried loading them, but they are completely
silent (format mis-match maybe?). Specifically, when I try to enter
voicemail, nothing plays... though it clearly tries.
I'm looking for replacement sound files for the default Allison, as I feel
she is kind of breathy. I have heard other sound files on other asterisk
sounds, done by her, and they sound fine... are there "two" recorded
versions of the prompts floating around?

What's your definition of "decent sounding"? IMHO and that of many of
my co-workers, the default Allison recordings sound great...not sure
exactly what you're looking for.

its kinda tangential to the original post,
but check this link
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk%20Native%20Sounds
since the link for download doesn't seem to work I can post or send
the files in many codecs for you

Is anyone else interested in creating new voices for Festival (the
voice synth bundled with Asterisk) that might not be as good as
Allison's recordings, but are better than the current Festival voices?

If you try to do live voice synth for prompts you'll probably run into
something I encountered - the background and speechbackground (I also
use Lumenvox in addition to Cepstrel) only take a file. That means
unless I'm missing something you can't have a TTS prompt that can be
interrupted like a recorded file. The workaround of TTS to a file and
then play the file sounds to me like it would introduce delays and
besides it's ugly.
That's why I posted a suggestion to the recently created
asteriskideas.org that background and speechbackground be enhanced to
take an app in addition to a simple file. If you agree, then please
vote for it.

Since Asterisk has a preset collection of prompts, the voice synth can
be used to generate those files when installing Asterisk (or whenever).
The difference from Allison's prompts is that when a new app calls for a
new prompt, the synth can generate its new file instead of hiring
Allison to do it, and all the prompts sound consistent. And there are
ways to synthesize arbitrary new prompts at runtime just in time to be
picked up by the apps that can play only a file.

I think the flexibility you described is important anyway.
